Best Television Shows

Dennis Farina is one of those actors that’s good in everything he does. Even if something he does isn’t that great, he will always be good in it. He’s just been cast in the new HBO show ‘Luck’ that David Milch is producing, and the more I hear about the show the more I like it.

For one, it’s a horse racing drama. You don’t get many shows on television set around that world, and while I don’t bet on horses or go to races it’s always great to see a new world depicted on television. Second, the show is being co-produced by ‘Miami Vice’ veteran Michael Mann. Farina has been working with Mann since 1981′s ‘Thief’ (Farina is an ex-cop and became an actor on that movie), including the lead in the great 80s series ‘Crime Story.’

Farina was also great in ‘Buddy Faro.’ Remember that show? Another cool series gone way too soon.
